This document lists errata items for FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, containing significant
information discovered after the release or too late in the release cycle to be otherwise
included in the release documentation. This information includes security advisories, as
well as news relating to the software or documentation that could affect its operation or
usability. An up-to-date version of this document should always be consulted before
installing this version of FreeBSD.

This errata document for FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE will be maintained until the release of
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.

This errata document contains “late-breaking news” about FreeBSD
7.1-RELEASE. Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to
learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and
fixed.

Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for
example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are
kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the “current errata”
for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/, plus any sites which keep up-to-date
mirrors of this location.

Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 7-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of this
document (as of the time of the snapshot).

[20090105] As in the Announcement of 7.1-RELEASE, certain Intel NICs will come up as
igb(4) instead of em(4) in this
release. There are only 3 PCI ID's that should have their name changed from em(4) to igb(4):

0x10A78086

0x10A98086

0x10D68086

You should be able to determine if your card will change names by running the
following command:

and for the line representing your NIC (should be named em on older systems, e.g. em0 or em1, etc) check the fourth column. If that says chip=0x10a78086 (or one of the other two IDs given above) you will
have the adapter's name change.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned that the procstat(1)
utility has been added. This is a process inspection utility which provides both some of
the missing functionality from procfs(5) and
new functionality for monitoring and debugging specific processes.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the ae(4) driver has been
added to provide support for the Attansic/Atheros L2 FastEthernet controllers. This
driver is not enabled in GENERIC kernels for this release.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE included the following
misdescriptions:

In the entry of linux(4) ABI
support, get_setaffinity() should have been sched_setaffinity().

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the jme(4) driver has
been added to provide support for PCIe adapters based on JMicron JMC250 gigabit Ethernet
and JMC260 fast Ethernet controllers.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the age(4) driver has
been added to provide support for Attansic/Atheros L1 gigabit Ethernet controller.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the malo(4) driver
has been added to provide support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI network
adapters.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the
bm(4) driver has been added to provide support for Apple Big Mac (BMAC) Ethernet
controller, found on various Apple G3 models.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the
et(4) driver has been added to provide support for Agere ET1310 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet
controller.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned changes that the glxsb(4) driver
has been added to provide support for the Security Block in AMD Geode LX processors.

[20090105] The Release Notes for 7.1-RELEASE should have mentioned that FreeBSD now
supports multiple routing tables. To enable this, the following steps are needed:

Add the following kernel configuration option and rebuild the kernel. The 2 is the number of FIB (Forward Information Base, synonym for a
routing table here). The maximum value is 16.

options ROUTETABLES=2

The procedure for rebuilding the FreeBSD kernel is described in the FreeBSD Handbook.

This number can be modified on boot time. To do so, add the following to /boot/loader.conf and reboot the system:

net.fibs=6

Set a loader tunable net.my_fibnum if needed. This means
the default number of routing tables. If not specified, 0 will
be used.

Set a loader tunable net.add_addr_allfibs if needed. This
enables to add routes to all FIBs for new interfaces by default. When this is set to 0, it will only allocate routes on interface changes for the FIB of
the caller when adding a new set of addresses to an interface. Note that this tunable is
set to 1 by default.

To select one of the FIBs, the new setfib(1)
utility can be used. This set an associated FIB with the process. For example:
